hank, you're going to go far in this place. for the record, i think you've offended at least 90% of the viewing public!
i love cricket too, but i cheer for anyone but the arrogant aussies. unless they're playing the poms or kiwis of course. then its aussies all the way!
i grew up watching the Windies in their golden era with Viv Richards, Desmond Haynes, Jeffery Dujon, Malcolm Marshall, Curtly and Courtney rip apart the aussies every single time. Then the pakis came along with Imran Khan and took the World cup with Wasim, and Waqar, and i was their biggest fan after beating the boring poms again ( i think it was mike atherton and his boring sods then). Usually ill cheer the underdogs. lately ive been following bangladesh against the poms, who have improved immensely in the last few years, so watch out for them in a couple of years.
as for ausie rules..yeah ill watch it if the finals are on, but its not my numbe 1 choice to watch, or play. I grew up in sydney playing league and union, but followed league because i lived in sydney which has a massive league base. With all the professionalism in sport now, league has tightened up defensively. gone are the days where players had REAL jobs during the week and played on the weekend. Those guys were hard as nails.
as for union, i dont see how you can get a scoreline like 20-18 without anyone crossing the line for a try. sorry, but johnny wilkinson did a disservice to rugby union with his kicking prowess. glad he's not on the english team anymore.
